If I didn’t know better, I’d say many of the countries at the 2014 Olympic Opening Ceremonies on Friday were maybe, even accidentally, borrowing some of the 2014 spring trends such as color blocking, pastels, classic blacks and whites, geometric prints and statement coats.

And some countries…well…I don’t know what they were thinking. Or what year they thought it was. Some countries needed Tim Gunn to step inside their design room, furrow his brow, bring his thumb and index finger to his chin, and tell those designers to just “make it work.”
